Meal Support

Our nutrition philosophy utilizes a non-diet approach to address each patient’s individual treatment plan which allows patients to plan and process the experience of eating meals that may not be within their comfort zone.

At this level of care, patients will bring their own meals that are planned out with our nutrition team. Consideration will be made to accommodate allergies and if you have a current nutritionist that you are working with. It is understood that the meal support part of the program may be the most difficult experience and patients are supported in their efforts to consume food in a safe environment.

Tools such as meal time journaling, intuitive eating, menu planning and various experiential activities, including eating out in restaurants and cooking help develop the diversified and structural curriculum necessary to facilitate nutritional recovery.
